people also must consider that there is only one "XCend" happening at a time right now. Once more people are using the "XCend" feature, it will be far more difficult to simply match inputs/outputs as has been done prior.
We are well on the road to "PrivXC"
as i understand rev2 will make it impossible anyway
Exactly. Rev1 is a standard mixer and was never claimed to be anything super special. If people want to put down xc because rev 1 isn't the be-all end-all NSA proof highest of high techs then they just got the wrong impression to begin with.
Currently the sender's address can be linked to a mixer address, and the receiver's address can be linked to some other mixer address, but no link can be made between the sender and receiver. It is working as intended and is a stop-gap measure on the road to bigger and better things.
I don't see what the problem is. People claiming this is a scam just don't make any sense. Clearly ATC is working hard and has a long-term commitment to this coin. If this was a scam I'm pretty sure he would have dumped his XCs when they were 450+k sats and he had a few hundred thousand dollars' worth, and we never would have heard from him again.
Feel free to correct me if I have misinterpreted any of this.
